Chapter 810
Song Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, I still have one thing I don't know."

Chai Rong waved his hand and said: "Don't ask, Zong Xin has already left Bianliang, he said that he wants to live in seclusion and wait for Tianya to become a teacher. After the death of the emperor, Zong Xin will not provide me with any help. It seems that Zong Xin really does not like me."

"Oh~" Song Yan nodded embarrassingly, "It's no wonder... Zong Xin's thoughts really make people uncomfortable."

"what idea?"

"I dare not say it."

"Say, I forgive you for your innocence."

Song Yandao: "I once heard Zong Xin say that His Majesty does not have the blood of the late emperor, so...he looked down on His Majesty. From Zong Xin's perspective, he only thinks that those who have achieved great things through their own efforts are worthy of admiration. Zong Xin looks down on people who are artificially made into things. This statement has nothing to do with the minister, it is all said by Zong Xin."

Chai Rong's face was livid with anger, but he couldn't hold back a word.Zong Xin is simply too hateful, dare to say that about himself, although what he said is somewhat reasonable, at least he has already enthroned at this time, does he still look down on him?This bastard Zongxin left Bianliang City after his father's death, leaving only a few words, obviously he didn't want to help.

When the first emperor was alive, Zong Xin was very concerned about big and small matters.But after the death of the first emperor, the bastard Zong Xin was about to leave immediately, and he knew that the Northern Han Dynasty was coming to attack, and even joined forces with the Khitan bandits, Zong Xin didn't intend to control his own life or death.

"No problem, Zong Xin is an expert outside the world, so what he does and thinks is naturally different from the world." Chai Rong said softly: "It's urgent, don't think about Zong Xin anymore. Go back to Weizhou to deploy defenses, I We'll be there later."

"Observe the order." Song Yan withdrew respectfully, leaving Chai Rong angry in the imperial study.

Chai Rong knew that Zong Xin looked down on him, but he didn't expect him to say it so clearly.Although he didn't say this in front of his face, Chai Rong could completely imagine the disgusting expression on Zong Xin's face when he said this.

The more Chai Rong thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he called out: "Come here, Xuanzhao Kuangyin came to see you in the imperial study."

"Follow the order~~"

Not long after, Zhao Kuangyin came to the imperial study, and Chai Rong was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.Because Chai Rong thought that Song Yan didn't lie to himself. First of all, he was Zong Xin's father-in-law, so he couldn't deliberately frame Zong Xin, and second, Zong Xin's character seemed to be someone who could say such things.Moreover, I have heard similar remarks from Zong Xin himself, so...it is true that Zong Xin looks down on him.

"Minister Zhao Kuangyin received the order to see you."

"No courtesy, come in."

Chai Rong's tone was not very good, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what happened. Although the attack from the Northern Han Dynasty was relatively sudden, everyone had actually thought that Liu Chong would come to invade the country as soon as Guo Wei died. Chai Rong should not be so angry. is.

After Zhao Kuangyin entered the imperial study, Chai Rong directly asked him to sit down. However, when Zhao Kuangyin sat down, Chai Rong did not say a word.The internal officer served tea. Zhao Kuangyin almost drank all the tea, but Chai Rong still said nothing.But in this situation, Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to ask first, and could only wait for Chai Rong to figure it out and take the initiative to speak.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Chai Rong finally plucked up the courage to grit his teeth and said, "Zhao Kuangyin."

"I'm here." Zhao Kuangyin immediately stood up and replied.

"Sit down and talk."

"According to the order."

Chai Rong said: "I want to know something, are the things you said to the queen true?"

"I dare not hide it. Zong Xin will do anything to achieve his goals. Although the final outcome is not bad, the means are really despicable and outrageous." Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to say anything clearly. Anyway, he first belittled Zong Xin and let Chai Rong Feel better.

"The death of the first emperor was planned by Zong Xin a long time ago, right?"

"Indeed, when we first met a few years ago, Zong Xin said that His Majesty has the appearance of an emperor. At that time, Zong Xin had already planned everything. Although there were some changes in the middle, Zong Xin still resolved it smoothly. Things are developing in the direction he wants. If it hadn't been instilled in the late emperor that he has only three years of life as the emperor, the late emperor would not have used his life to save Zong Xin's martial arts."

Chai Rong nodded and said: "I heard this from the queen a long time ago. I want to know why Liu Chengyou targeted my father back then? My father was loyal and patriotic, and he was highly skilled in martial arts. Although Liu Chengyou was not smart, he was not stupid either. Even though there were rumors about his father. The emperor can either be emperor for three years, or a prince for a lifetime. Liu Chengyou relies entirely on his father to protect the world, and it is not bad for him to be a prince for a lifetime, so why must he be at odds with my father?"

Chai Rong no longer has the right judgment. He asked Zhao Kuangyin like this because he hoped to get a reason to hate Zongxin from Zhao Kuangyin's words.Because of a strange illness, Chai Rong felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of the word Zong Xin, and he was full of hatred for the bald head.But Zong Xin has saved the Guo family too many times, so Chai Rong dare not hate him.Until Fu Xuanyi said it all, Chai Rong only dared to be angry, not to hate.

Now Chai Rong can no longer bear this feeling, he needs to hate Zong Xin, but he needs a suitable reason to hate.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zong Xin and Liu Chengyou had a good relationship back then, and His Majesty should know about it. When the two met, the minister was always present. In fact, Liu Chengyou didn't have much hatred for the late emperor, and the Guo family was also under house arrest. Xin's idea, Zong Xin said that as long as this is the case, he can control the late emperor and prevent him from rebelling. Later, Zong Xin rescued the entire family of the late emperor from Bianliang, which was also what Zong Xin had planned long ago. Think about it, the whole Even in Bianliang City, Zong Xin took His Majesty’s family flying out of Kaifeng Bianliang City. What a miracle is that? In fact, this incident has two purposes. It is a matter of course. Secondly, Zong Xin wants to let the people of the world see a real miracle, so that his words will have more weight."

"Zong Xin did all these things?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "That's true. I have always been by Zong Xin's side, and I am very clear about what he has done. The reason why Zong Xin has done so many things is to overcome the catastrophe."

"Crossing Tribulation?"

"That's right, those who cultivate the Tao are lucky and calamity. Some death calamities Zongxin can't get through by himself and need the help of nobles. The late emperor is Zongxin's nobleman, but the late emperor would not use his life to save Zongxin's practice for no reason, so Zongxin So many people were working for the late emperor, and kept telling the late emperor that he would only be the son of heaven for three years, because at that time Zong Xin's doom happened to be, and he hoped that the late emperor would risk his life to save him.

"Despicable and shameless, simply despicable and shameless." Chai Rong could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, but he knew that Zong Xin's martial arts were extremely high, and he returned to the Leiwang Mansion, and it would be impossible to kill him.I'm afraid it may not be possible to capture the entire Northern Han army to destroy the Leiwang Mansion.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, because he also felt a little guilty.After all, Zong Xin is also his good brother who was born and died, but now for his own future, he can only slander him.Anyway, only Chai Rong thinks this way about this matter. Even if he is the emperor, others will not believe his words.

Chai Rong said: "Zhao Kuangyin, now that Zong Xin has left Bianliang to go back to Lei Wang's mansion to live in seclusion, what are your plans?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I'll keep my words down. Zong Xin is as rich as a country, and his martial arts are world-class. He is accompanied by several peerless beauties. He has a great reputation in the world. He has no pursuit, so he lives in seclusion. But the minister is poor and white. How can you be as chic as Zong Xin when you have to support your family?" Zhao Kuangyin said awkwardly, "However, this can be said more broadly. If Zong Xin has a heart, the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. Why not unify the country? But This person has no enterprising spirit, only cares about his own happiness, and does not care about the people in the world living in dire straits. Although the humble minister is not talented, he also hopes to do more for the people in the world. As long as he is an official in the court, he does not do bad things That's fine."

"It's rare that you have such a heart, so are you really willing to break up with Zong Xin? Do your best to help me pacify the world?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty, until I die."

"Okay~ What I want is your words." Chai Rong said: "After I prepare to fight the Northern Han Dynasty, I will start to deal with Zong Xin. But Zong Xin's martial arts is very strong. With Zong Xin's martial arts, even if he rushes into the hall to assassinate him I, and no one can stop him... So I hope that you can take over the post of Prince Consort Zhang Yongde and become the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, and always protect my safety, at least make sure that people around me can't hurt me. Just like I just said in person When I met Song Yan, I was actually very scared. As long as Song Yan was disloyal at all, he would be able to successfully attack him. Therefore, I must have a minister with strong martial arts skills by my side, otherwise I will not even dare to see anyone in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness, I will do my best to protect your majesty."

"Well~~" Chai Rong nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "There is one more thing, the Northern Han Dynasty once again united with the Khitan army to suppress the border, we must quickly send troops to reinforce Weizhou, Luzhou, Zezhou, Cizhou and other places."

"Your Majesty is wise. Liu Chong will not be so stupid as to attack Weizhou this time. After all, it is not easy to attack Weizhou with Song Yan guards. Therefore, Liu Chong will attack Luzhou or Zezhou instead." Zhao Kuangyin said: "How much is your majesty going to send?" Soldiers and horses to resist the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces?"

"Only 3 horses can be dispatched at most, and with the 2 horses of the Song Dynasty in Weizhou, there should be 5." Chai Rong said with shame: "However, the number of the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces is huge, and there should be 7 to 8 people. , including 4 Khitan infantry, 5 Khitan iron cavalry. 3 to [-] Northern Han infantry, cavalry, and archers. This number is indeed huge. If possible, I also hope to send some more reinforcements. It’s just that the first emperor reduced the national troop strength , and also dispersed his military power, and now there are only [-] horses that can be used."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "When the late Emperor was fighting, His Majesty was always by his side. How should His Majesty respond based on what His Majesty saw?"

"I think it is a good idea to lead the army to fight in person, to inspire the soldiers, and to personally direct the battle. Responding to the situation on the spot is far more effective than me talking about it on paper. What's more, the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. Morale has a great influence on the direction of the war. To help, so the best choice is to go on a personal expedition."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Since Liu Chong's last disastrous defeat, his morale has been low and his power has shrunk. Even tens of thousands of troops are just a mob and nothing to be afraid of. What's more, since the last time Liu Chong was allowed to escape, he was so scared that he must not be afraid." There is no need for your Majesty to take it seriously if you dare to personally conquer the country. What's more, now that His Majesty's new emperor has ascended the throne, I am afraid that people's hearts will be shaken, so it is not appropriate to personally conquer the country."

"This statement is wrong. Liu Chong is glad that there is a great funeral in our country. He despises me for being young and recently ascended the throne. He has the heart to annex the world. This time he must come in person this time. I have to go."

"Your Majesty is wise, let the minister wait a step ahead, and it will not be too late to deal with the aftermath before your Majesty dies."

Chai Rong nodded, Zhao Kuangyin is still very good.Now that he has been promoted to an official position, and his martial arts are excellent, but his knowledge is a little poor.In the future, we must get closer and closer. After all, he is the only weapon to defeat Zong Xin. Although Zhao Kuangyin is not as powerful as Zong Xin, the difference should not be too big.

"According to your advice, after tomorrow's court incident, we must immediately order all our troops to go out for battle."

"According to the order."

"Go back."

"Wei Chen retire."
